Damn, so many beer events going on this summer that I actually want to go to!

Done, see you there

This is right after my birthday, so I’m planning on coming down! I still haven’t even been to the Cajun Cafe, so I’m stoked!

Damn!!

Paul is amazing, sure wish I could go.

Just picked up a keg of Funky Buddha Raspberry Berliner Weisse today, should be getting a keg of NB La Folie in 2 weeks, list is looking pretty good right now if you like these styles!!

Dunedin brewery have just announced they will be bringing a 12 year old raspberry sour beer!! CCB are bringing their Prickly Pear, Funky Sour Brown and the One Percent BW.

The Sour, Lambic & Berliner Weisse Festival will also feature the Dogedin Doggie Rescue Booth, our good friend KK will be offering tastes of some very old Cantillons and other sours for his charity "old Vintage Sours and Lambics left to me by Joe Rayho on his passing in 2000. Joe was one of the original Tampa Bay Godfathers of Brewing…. Belgian style brewing started in TB as Joe and Manny were shipping in pallets of Chimay and Val Dieu and turning everyone on to these… when the laws changed and they could no longer ship in they started brewing Belgians.. turning other Homebrewers onto “you can make these too!”





Jay Rayho Memorial Vintage Tasting Booth



1 oz sample $3



Silent auction of a couple of the bottles



Pictures of Joe, his homebrew medals etc



Free tastes to anyone who can knew Joe and can produce a picture



I had a pallet of his best homebrew and commercial Belgian beers shipped down from Boston.



We have had have “Joe Tributes” from time to time, and we would like finish them off with a Bang at your festival



Down to about 3 cases… most of what is left is Cantillion sours.



I brought one to one of the largest Sour Tasting… it was in Gainesville with Belgian Master Peter Bouchart of New Belgium Brewing attending. It was judged to be the one “most sour” of the tasting (Manny attended).



I cracked a bottle about a year ago and it is seems to be immortal!

Bought my ticket today!

Just arrived today, Cascade Brewing Vine and Sang Noir!!

That Drie Zwarte Pieten Sang Noir is something I’ve not had the opportunity to try, so, cool!
